1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-14)

Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M. The Chiefs have said they are down to a "final four" pool for the first overall pick, but it's pretty clear that despite their move to franchise-tag Branden Albert, they are very interested in a franchise left tackle. They'll go with Joeckel, who rates a tad better than Central Michigan's Eric Fisher.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14)

Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon. The Jaguars don't just need a pass rusher, they need a dynamic one to match the energy of their new defensive-minded head coach, Gus Bradley. The ex-Seattle coordinator can tap back into the Pacific Northwest for the explosive Jordan.

3. Oakland Raiders (4-12)

Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida. The Raiders are getting an extreme makeover in the defensive line, as Richard Seymour, Desmond Bryant, Tommy Kelly and Matt Shaughnessy are all out of the picture. Floyd is built to be a disruptive force in a 4-3, and Dennis Allen should be thrilled to have him as a new cornerstone.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (4-12)

Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia. Sure, for the moment, Michael Vick and Nick Foles look like they'll be battling to be the starting quarterback for Chip Kelly. But there's no denying Smith has the basic skill set (arm, accuracy, athleticism) that Kelly could mold into something special in his up-tempo passing offense.

5. Detroit Lions (4-12)

Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan. The Lions did well staying in state with the now retired Michigan product Jeff Backus. And now they can do even better with Fisher, a big man from the Mount Pleasant campus. He's an athletic rock of a blindside pass protector who would make Matthew Stafford very happy.

6. Cleveland Browns (5-11)

Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB, BYU. The Browns already added a rising pass rusher from the Beehive State (former Utah and Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger) in free agency. In Ansah, they can add the draft's other freakishly gifted edge player after Jordan.

7. Arizona Cardinals (5-11)

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. The Cardinals will take a closer look at Matt Barkley, but they don't need to take a quarterback here anymore after getting Carson Palmer as their short-term veteran solution. The immobile Palmer desperately needs an upgraded Arizona line, and Johnson is the last surefire stud left tackle on the board.

8. Buffalo Bills (6-10)

Matt Barkley, QB, Southern California. The Bills have liked North Carolina State's Mike Glennon for a while and have the coaching ties to Syracuse’s Ryan Nassib. But if they truly want to take the most intriguing quarterback in this class after Smith, Barkley is their man.

9. New York Jets (6-10)

Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia. The rise of Jordan and Ansah can benefit the Jets. For Rex Ryan, he should see Jones as the explosive, versatile playmaker his attack defense has lacked.

10. Tennessee Titans (6-10)

Chance Warmack, G, Alabama. The Titans have made it a point to boost their interior run blocking, and the combination of Warmack and free-agent addition Andy Levitre would do just that.

11. San Diego Chargers (7-9)

Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina. The Chargers need offensive line help, and if the top three offensive tackles and Warmack are gone, they should be happy taking Cooper as an impact player inside.

12. Miami Dolphins (7-9)

Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State. They stay in state to get a sharp cover man with shutdown potential. Rhodes is making a push to be the first corner off the board.

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)

Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama. This is why the Bucs don't want to give the Jets this pick for Darrelle Revis — they know they'll have their choice of Rhodes or Milliner to address their big cornerback need.

14. Carolina Panthers (7-9)

Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah. The Panthers have done well with former Utes Steve Smith and Jordan Gross. The versatile Lotulelei would be a nice blocker-eater in front of 2012 first-round linebacker Luke Kuechly, the defensive rookie of the year.

15. New Orleans Saints (7-9)

Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU. The Saints can look down the road--on I-10 to Baton Rouge--to add an attacking edge player suited for their new 3-4 defense under Rob Ryan. Ryan will love both Mingo's bark and bite to get to the quarterback.

16. St. Louis Rams (7-8-1)

Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia. The Greatest Show on Turf is long gone, but it's time to bring back some of that excitement to the Rams' fast track. Austin would give Sam Bradford that long-awaited marquee playmaker as his potential new go-to guy.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8)

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennesssee. The Steelers lost the field-stretching skills of Mike Wallace (Dolphins), so they'll simply get another speedy prospect from the SEC who should remind them a little of Wallace.

18. Dallas Cowboys (8-8)

Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas. The Cowboys can also look down the road, on I-35 to Austin, to address their need for a thumper to clean up in the secondary. Vaccaro's size, hard-hitting ability and ball skills make him the top safety in this class.

19. New York Giants (9-7)

Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State. The Giants load up on defensive ends even when they have them, but now that Osi Umenyiora (Falcons) is gone, it's time to rebuild their 4-3 pass rush.

20. Chicago Bears (10-6)

Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia. Brian Urlacher won't be back in the lineup for Chicago. Lance Briggs still is playing well, but he also has some wear. That's why Ogletree, with inside-outside versatility, is a good choice who can contribute immediately as Urlacher's replacement.

21. Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)

D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama. The Bengals are getting tired of the free-agent negotiations with the ex-Tide player they currently have at right tackle, Andre Smith. Why not just move on from Smith with Fluker?

22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington)

Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama. The way the Tide keeps rolling on with first-rounders, you would think they have the best program in major college football or something. The Rams recently kicked the tires on Lacy and need a young workhorse to replace Steven Jackson (Falcons). Jeff Fisher has a good Eddie (George) history at the position.

23. Minnesota Vikings (10-6)

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina. The Vikings are used to having Williamses at DT (see non-related Kevin and Pat), and Sylvester would thrive in Leslie Frazier's system.

24. Indianapolis Colts (11-5)

Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&M. The Colts need some pass rush help after parting ways with Dwight Freeney. Moore's stock has slipped a bit as a defensive end, and he's best off rushing the passer from a wider angle. Chuck Pagano should like that attribute as a 3-4 outside linebacker.

25. Minnesota Vikings (from Seattle)

Keenan Allen, WR, California. The Vikings got this second first-rounder by trading away Percy Harvin. Greg Jennings was signed, but they need more help at wideout. Allen would be a fine No. 2 to Jennings.

26. Green Bay Packers (11-5)

Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame. Jermichael Finley is back for 2013, but he’s in the last year of his contract. The Packers always think ahead in the draft, and getting Eifert in the blocking and receiving mix now would mean bigger things from him in 2014.

28. Denver Broncos (13-3)

Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington. The Broncos know Champ Bailey can't play at a starting level much longer, and Trufant is waiting for them as an heir apparent.

29. New England Patriots (12-4)

Margus Hunt, DE, SMU. Hunt's work ethic, versatility and pass-rush potential should be appealing to Bill Belichick, who can rotate the Estonian sensation into the lineup opposite Chandler Jones.

30. Atlanta Falcons (13-3)

Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State. The Falcons decided not to bring back Dunta Robinson or Brent Grimes. Banks is the best available corner after Rhodes, Milliner and Trufant.

31. San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1)

Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama. Let's go to the Tide one last time in the first round. The Niners need a nose tackle to better anchor their 3-4, and the hefty Aussie Williams fits that description.

32. Baltimore Ravens (10-6)

Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU. As we've said for a while, Manti Te'o shouldn't be first-round material over Minter, whose range, tackling skills and coverage ability are more in tune with what the Ravens need after losing Ray Lewis (retired) and Dannell Ellerbe (Dolphins).
